Mary Dettle | Love Where You Land

$ 625.00

Soft Pastel | I absolutely love Seagulls, their happy cries as they fly overhead means you're somewhere near the ocean. I created this piece (8x10)from a photo I took one afternoon catching one of these shorebirds just coming in for a landing on Seabright Beach. The colors of the feathers in the late afternoon, the water as it recedes and the gracefulness of this playful bird were so fun to paint in my favorite medium. I took the opportunity to render the shadow as a heart for this event. I am a proud Santa Cruz native, a retired teacher , an instructor at the Santa Cruz Art League (pastel) and have been drawing and painting and sharing my art since I was a kid.
